Abstract: A power-on-detection (POD) circuit includes a detection circuit, first and second comparison circuits, and logic circuitry. The detection circuit includes a capacitor configured to charge from a first voltage level to a second voltage level. The first comparison circuit is configured to compare a third voltage level to a reference voltage level, and the second comparison circuit is configured to compare a fourth voltage level to the reference voltage level. The third and fourth levels are based on the second voltage level. The logic circuitry is coupled to an output of the first comparison circuit and to an output of the second comparison circuit and is configured to output a power identification signal based on the outputs of the first and second comparison circuits. The detection circuit is configured to turn on the first and second comparison circuits based on a voltage level of the capacitor.

Abstract: A power-on-detection (POD) circuit includes first and second comparators, a voltage divider, a detection circuit coupled to a first voltage source node and the voltage divider, and logic circuitry coupled to outputs of the first and second comparators. The detection circuit outputs a control signal identifying if a first voltage source node has a voltage potential that is higher than ground. The control signal turns on and off the first and second comparators, which are respectively coupled to first and second nodes of the voltage divider and to a reference voltage node. The logic circuitry outputs a power identification signal based on the signals received from the outputs of the first and second comparators.
